On Thursday, Congress passed the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, cementing cryptocurrencies into the financial system. They will have major implications for our spending habits, our portfolios, and even our financial freedom. So, let’s unpack these one by one.
Then we’ll look at why I’m still wildly bullish on Bitcoin.
To the naked eye, the movement of stocks can seem random. When you use computers to analyze the stock market, a different picture emerges. Certain stocks have a history of going up on specific calendar dates—year after year—through bull and bear markets, manias, panics, wars, and pandemics. By buying on seasonally favorable “Green Days,” you increase the odds of success when you’re buying socks.
When you fight technology, you lose. Sure, you might win a few rounds. But it will always end in a knockout… with you on the mat. So, if you’re trying to trade without AI these days, you’re effectively fighting a losing battle. Because your competition on the other side of the trade is already using it. Here’s how to fix that.
Change is coming quickly. Cryptocurrencies are actually becoming useful. They’re starting to have legitimate real-world uses beyond naked speculation and ridiculous internet memes. As I wrote earlier this week in Freeport Navigator, Amazon and Walmart are looking to launch stablecoins, dollar-backed cryptos designed to be spent.
The GENIUS Act creates the legal framework to make this doable.
As computers grow more powerful and accessible, more investors are choosing to augment their instincts by tapping into cutting-edge tech. They’re using algorithmic portfolio management, predictive analytics, and advanced screeners among other tech tools. But none of them come close to the new AI-powered trading tool the TradeSmith team has developed. You can use it to pinpoint a stock’s “profit window” – the ideal timeframe to trade a stock on any given day. Here’s how it works…
What exactly are stablecoins? Why are the world’s two biggest retailers looking to launch them? And why do we care? Let’s get into it.
Yes, a country needs a secure border. But deporting 10 million workers will only hurt U.S. companies and consumers more. Here’s why…
What can we do about the Age of Chaos we’re living in? You could sell everything and sit in cash. Of course, had you done that, you would have missed the most profitable May in 30 years. Or you could take a page out of my friend and master trader Jeff Clark’s book and trade the chaos.
As we’ll explore in today’s Navigator, the days of costly, cumbersome bank wire transfers are numbered. And a newer, cheaper, sleeker way of sending and receiving funds is coming. Just don’t confuse stablecoins for “anti-dollar” cryptos such as Bitcoin. For all their potential usefulness, stablecoins have an inherent weakness that won’t go away.
Our past is littered with the corpses of companies that failed to adapt fast enough to technological change. With the speed at which technology is advancing today, how many more face extinction. And how can investors pick the survivors?
